The bicycle enjoyed a starring role in urban history over a century
ago, but now it is back, stronger than ever. It is the single most
important tool for improving our cities. Designing around it is the
most efficient way to make our cities life-sized--to scale cities
for humans. It is time to cement the bicycle firmly in the urban
narrative in US and global cities. Enter urban designer Mikael
Colville-Andersen. He has worked for dozens of global cities on
bicycle planning, strategy, infrastructure design, and
communication. He is known around the world for his colorful
personality and enthusiasm for the role of bike in urban design. In
Copenhagenize, he shows cities how to effectively and profitably
re-establish the bicycle as a respected, accepted, and feasible
form of transportation. Building on his popular blog of the same
name, Copenhagenize offers vivid project descriptions, engaging
stories, and best practices, alongside beautiful and informative
visuals to show how to make the bicycle an easy, preferred part of
everyday urban life. Copenhagenize will serve as inspiration for
everyone working to get the bicycle back into our cities. It will
give planners and designers the ammunition to push back against the
Automobile Age and convince the skeptics of the value of the
life-sized city. This is not a guide on how to become Copenhagen,
but how to learn from the successes and failures (yes, failures) of
Copenhagen and other cities around the world that are striving to
become more livable. We need to act in order to save our
cities--and us--from ourselves. Copenhagenize shows the path
forward.
